Dancing Crab (VivoCity) - American-Style Seafood

I saw many people posting pictures of themselves wearing a bib at a seafood restaurant. Google search reveals that this restaurant is Dancing Crab, a seafood concept restaurant by Tung Lok Group.

Dancing Crab has two outlets, one in VivoCity and another at Orchard Central. I went to the  VivoCity outlet, which is located on level 3, opposite Marche Movenpick.

The restaurant exterior looks contemporary with ceiling-to-floor glass panels covered with cute red crab and prawn decals.

Dancing Crab - Live Crabs

There are 4 huge tanks at the entrance, showcasing fresh dungeness crabs that the restaurant prides itself on.

Dancing Crab mainly serves American-style seafood which remind me of the Cajun on Wheels stall in PasarBella in Suntec City Mall.

There are various combos to choose from, depending on the number of people and type of seafood. This is the ala carte menu for your reference.

Dancing Crab - Live Crab Combo

One of the most popular combo is Live Crab Combo 招牌“卡真”辣酱斯里兰卡蟹海鲜包 [S$108] which comes with 1 live Sri Lankan crab (approximately 800g), 350g Prawns, 350g Flower Clam plus an assortment of chicken sausages and corn.

There are 5 sauces to choose from:  Signature Cajun Sauce (Signature Cajun Sauce (spicy), Zesty Garlic Butter Sauce (mild spicy), White Pepper Cream Sauce (mild spicy), Mala Sauce (very spicy) and Beurre Blanc Sauce (non-spicy).

We chose their Signature Cajun Sauce which is a blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, pepper and oregano. It is not as spicy as what the menu suggests but rather salty.

The seafood are very fresh, the Sri Lankan crab is plump with lots of firm flesh. This is perfect for sharing between 3-4 persons.

Dancing Crab - Crab Cake

Crab Cake 炸蟹饼 [S$22.60 for 2 pieces] is perfect for those who want to eat crab meat but lazy to remove the meat themselves. The crispy exterior contrasts with the moist filling filled with morsels of crab meat. Dunk it in the accompanying tartar sauce for creamy enjoyment.

Even though it is a little pricey, but the quality seafood and great ambience makes Dancing Crab a great place to host friends.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
